Kathmandu, October, 31 : The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has decided to seek a parliamentary solution to the controversy involving judges of the Supreme Court, including Chief Justice Manoj Kumar Sharma and Justice Hari Phuyal.
A secretariat meeting of the party held on Saturday concluded that the issue should be addressed through Parliament, with impeachment among the possible options.
The meeting also concluded that the dispute could not be resolved through the Judicial Council and directed the party’s parliamentary group to initiate the necessary process through Parliament.
RSP spokesperson Jagadish Kharel said the party had decided to seek a resolution through parliamentary procedures. He added that whether to proceed with impeachment or adopt another parliamentary mechanism would become clear once the process begins.
According to Kharel, most leaders attending the secretariat meeting favoured filing impeachment motions against the concerned judges. Based on their views, the responsibility for finding a way forward has been assigned to the party’s parliamentary group.
